I have thing for wide leg pants aka operation make myself appear as tall as possible! Luckily these beauts from River Island do just that and so much more. The color is delicious. No really though, it reminds me of a milk chocolate fountain. I am wearing a size 2 and surprisingly they do not need a hem job. For your reference, I am 5 feet and wearing four inch heels – my norm. I chose this one-shoulder sequin top because I like pairing unexpected textures together. It is just the right length. There is no excess bulk when tucked into the pants. In all seriousness, how did we dress for so many years without bodysuits?!

Ok, I’ll admit it. I am allergic to being casual. I do not know what jeans and a top looks like. But, I wanted my Thanksgiving outfit to be versatile and appealing to all tastes. That is where this darling pink sweater comes in. Ta-da! Just like that this outfit is way less glam and way more cas. Well, casual in my book! If you are not short like me, you could style this look with a comfortable ankle boot and you’d still be the best dressed at the feast. Speaking of, whether you are hosting or attending, consider bringing a harvest bowl floral arrangement to the table!

DIY Harvest Bowl Floral Arrangement

A floral arrangement makes a thoughtful hostess gift or a stunning center piece. And believe it or not, they are very simple to make. This is coming from a girl with a black thumb. No really, throw some clothes at me and I can coordinate an outfit in no time. But flowers…they make me sweat! Hah! Moral of the story, if I can do it, you can too and here is what you’ll need:

Materials:

• 1 round dish
• 2 chopsticks
• 1/3 block oasis
• 1 mini corn
• 1 small round pumpkin
• 2 mini pumpkins -white and orange
• 1 gourd
• 1 handful of straw or nesting material

Flowers:

• 2 Stem Mum
• 2 Alstroemeria (orange)
• 3 Roses (peach)
• 2 Juniper
• 2 Rosemary

Instructions: 

Begin by covering bottom of dish with hay. Place oasis on top. Using wire cutters or gardening shears, cut chopsticks in half. Poke hole in pumpkins and gourd (a screwdriver works great) and stick with chopstick. Place pumpkins and gourd in all four corners of oasis – leaving gaps for flowers. Fill in delicately with foliage reserving heavier greenery for base, rosemary for top, and varying textures throughout. Tip: keep design low. You do not want your guests to remove the arrangement from the table because it is obstructing the view! Shoutout to J. Miller Flowers for teaching me their way!

I don’t know about you, but “olive” an affordable and versatile number! The Closet Renovation Olive Green Suede Lace-Up Dress from lulus is incredibly soft and only $49! If olive isn’t your color, it also comes in navy. Rock this thing with nude pumps, and flashy gold jewelry on a date night, or tone it down a notch with a pair of booties. For today’s look, I styled this dress with leopard print ankle boots. I always try to mix things up a bit when I am working with a solid color – the animal print was just enough. I further accessorized with a walnut open-knit sweater, a gold tassel cuff, and my favorite army green clutch.

If you live outside of California, pair this dress with a poncho and tall boots for added warmth. The checkered poncho from last week’s post actually matches perfectly. Thank you for your readership and thank you for being you!
